mostly ignored (East, 1999). In the past, limited research in Mississippi has only focused on a small sector of education using the abstinence-only or abstinence-plus approaches. There is a need for education that goes beyond the abstinence approaches that acknowledges that teenagers are sexually active and are becoming sexually active at very young ages. Sexual health education should be placed in the schools, homes, and community centers and organizations. A parent’s attitude about…
